<p>A historical mental meander through some of the lairs of the Gorbals' very own "City of the Dead". Join the Happy Reaper and visit the graves of characters including Sir Thomas Lipton and Alexander "Greek" Thomson.</p>
<p>The Southern Necropolis was opened in 1840 and is the final resting place of approximately 250,000 contributors to Glasgow`s rich historical legacy. Built on land once owned by Oatlands Merchant William Gilmour, the cemetery stands as a unique window on time into the social history of our fair city.</p>
